Conduct Audits That Actually Improve Performance—Not Just Tick Compliance Boxes
Paper-based audits mean lost findings, forgotten actions, and inspections that feel like bureaucratic exercises rather than improvement opportunities. Onos enables mobile audits with automated workflows, offline capability, and analytics that reveal systemic issues—transforming compliance from burden into competitive advantage.
Built For Every Role
From site workers to board members, Onos delivers the audit capabilities you need
For Site-Based Staff
Problem:
Audits disrupt your day, require you to escort auditors around site, and generate action lists you never see again until the next audit reveals the same issues haven't been addressed. It feels like performance theatre rather than genuine improvement.
Solution:
Onos audits are faster (completed in half the time on a tablet), show you findings in real-time, and let you immediately assign corrective actions to your team with due dates and photo evidence requirements. You'll see exactly what needs fixing, track progress to closure, and demonstrate continuous improvement to auditors who return to find previous issues resolved.
For Office Admin Staff
Problem:
You're coordinating multiple auditors across multiple sites using spreadsheets to track what's been inspected, when, and what actions remain outstanding. Auditors submit reports weeks after inspections, making findings stale. Overdue actions slip through gaps because nobody's tracking them systematically.
Solution:
Onos schedules audits automatically, sends reminders before they're due, and captures findings instantly as auditors work. Automated workflows route reports for approval, assign actions to responsible individuals, and escalate overdue items—eliminating the manual chasing that currently consumes hours each week whilst ensuring nothing is missed.
For Senior & Board-Level Staff
Problem:
You need assurance that audit programmes are happening consistently, findings are being closed effectively, and your organisation is improving—but current systems give you snapshots of individual audits rather than trends that reveal whether your management systems are working.
Solution:
Onos provides portfolio-wide audit analytics showing completion rates, recurring non-conformances, average closure times, and performance comparisons between sites or contractors. Identify systemic weaknesses that individual audits miss, demonstrate continuous improvement to certification bodies, and provide clients with evidence of robust quality management that differentiates your tenders.
How It Works
Four simple steps to transform your audit process
Build or Import Audit Templates
Create custom audit checklists using Onos's template builder, or import your existing audit protocols from ISO 45001, ISO 14001, or industry-specific standards. Include conditional logic (if answer is 'No', require photo evidence and corrective action).
Schedule & Assign Audits
Set up recurring audit schedules (weekly fire safety checks, monthly HSE inspections, annual ISO audits) or conduct one-off audits. Automated notifications remind auditors before inspections are due, and overdue audits trigger escalation alerts.
Conduct Audits On-Site or Offline
Auditors complete checklists on mobile devices or tablets. The offline functionality lets them work in areas without signal (basements, remote sites, offshore platforms), syncing data automatically when back online. Photos, comments, and scores are captured against each checklist item.
Automated Actions & Analytics
Non-conformances automatically generate corrective actions assigned to responsible individuals. Approval workflows route reports to managers for review. Dashboard analytics reveal recurring issues, high-risk areas, and audit completion trends—enabling proactive management rather than reactive firefighting.
